Know about the book -

A Cultural History of Tragedy in the Early Modern Age is written by Naomi Conn Liebler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1350155004 (ISBN 10) and 9781350155008 (ISBN 13).

In this volume, 8 lively, original essays by eminent scholars trace the kaleidoscopically shifting dramatic forms, performance contexts, and social implications of tragedy throughout the period and across geographic, political, and social references. They attend not only to the familiar cultural lenses of English and mainstream Continental dramas but also to less familiar European exempla from Croatia and Hungary. Each chapter takes a different theme as its focus: forms and media; sites of performance and circulation; communities of production and consumption; philosophy and social theory; religion, ritual and myth; politics of city and nation; society and family, and gender and sexuality.
